If the issue is that someone in a position of power wants to make the change and all they are given is "religious/ideological justifications", then I'd say that an incomplete answer is indeed bad. It's easier to dismiss 20 different people saying the exact same, meaningless "God will be angry" answer than to dismiss 20 different tales of "someone two/three/six generations ago got attacked/drowned/never was seen again after going to the ocean".
